In this epic science fiction film, everything is connected: an 1849 diary of an ocean voyage; letters from a composer to his friend; a thriller about a murder at a nuclear power plant; a farce about a publisher in a nursing home; a rebellious clone in futuristic Korea; and the tale of a tribe living in post-apocalyptic Hawaii far in the future. Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and the other actors play varying roles in each of these interwoven stories. (172 minutes)
